Bakare used her own experience to support her claim that marriage is not a prerequisite for starting a family in an interview with Nollywood On Radio.

In an interview with Nollywood On Radio, Bakare expressed her views on attaining sustained success in one’s career, asserting that marriage is not a prerequisite for starting a family, drawing from her own experiences.

“If you are aspiring to be a successful superstar as a young girl, I would advise you to get married and have kids early so that you can have the rest of your years to push your career because the family area is very important.

“I know getting married early may lead to divorce but I mean starting a family early. Maybe I should retract that because I do not mean marriage. I never thought of marriage when I had my first child, I just wanted a baby.

“So the advice is not to get married early but start having a family.”

Gossipinfo notes that Laide, aged 43, was formerly married to Olumide Kunfulire, with whom she welcomed a daughter named Simi in 2008. In 2013, Bakare entered into her second marriage with Tunde Oriowo, a socialite from Lagos, and the couple had two sons together.
